Ghost Stories of Henry James

1000 د.ج

Ghost Stories of

Henry James was arguably the greatest practitioner of what has

been called the psychological ghost story. His stories explore the

region which lies between the supernatural or straightforwardly

marvellous and the darker areas of the human psyche.

This edition includes all ten of his appartional stories or ghost stories

in the strict sense of the term and as such is the fullest collection

currently available. The stories range widely in tone and type.

They include ‘The Jolly Corner’, a compelling story of psychological

doubling; ‘Owen Wingrave’, which is also a subtle parable of military

tradition; ‘The Friends of the Friends’, a strange story of uncanny

love; and The Private Life’, which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its

ghostly theme.

The volume also includes James’s great novella The Turn of the Screw,

perhaps the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.
